Bug 237

lpd does not print job if user is not local.

Symptom:  user on remote machine (irix6.5, but it doesn't
seem to matter.  I have similar failures from other OS's),
who does not have an account on printserver, attempts to
print to my printer.  I have lpd run with -l so it logs as
much as it will.  I get:

  Nov 30 11:50:41 admin7 lpd[13032]: us: job could not be
printed (cfA141iris20.amherst.com)

in syslog.

In fixing it for my installation, I believe the problem is
that elsewhere in printit() in $lprsrc/lpd/printjob.c, a
non-null value is assumed for getpwnam(logname), and when
this fails it gives the above error message.

I am not a C programmer - this fix may be the wrong way to
do this, and may break other functionality.  It should point
out what the cause of the problem is, though.

My patch follows:
[aerie:lpd/]$ diff printjob.c printjob.c.new
